The Future of Employment and Artificial Intelligence: A Move Toward Creative Pursuits - Sachin Dev Duggal

Shifting Landscape of Employment 

AI's integration into various sectors is undeniable, with automation and machine learning transforming industries from manufacturing to healthcare. Historically, each new stage of technological progress led to changes in the job market that typically created more jobs than they destroyed. According to a report by the World Economic Forum, by 2025, automation and a new division of work between humans and machines will disrupt 85 million jobs globally but also create 133 million new roles. 

Creative and Innovative Roles: The Future of Work

As repetitive tasks giving way to robotic process automation become prevalent, creative thinking, problem-solving abilities, and emotional connections between human beings at work are becoming even more important for them. Job roles like these, which require natural skills, cannot be automated. While AI can perform data analysis and recognize patterns, it lacks comprehension capable of capturing subtle nuances and emotions required in creative production.

Sachin Dev Duggal emphasizes this transition, noting that AI's capacity to handle mundane tasks relaxes human efforts and elicits them to focus on more strategic and creative endeavors. He agrees with the idea that AI will augment human abilities, resulting in a situation where tools based on AI empower employees, leading them towards higher creativity levels and better innovation outcomes.

Mohamed Al-Hardan also echoes this sentiment, explaining how AI will prompt a paradigm shift in employment. He thinks people should gravitate towards jobs that require innovativeness and critical thinking. These characteristics are essential in a fast-changing technology landscape, which demands a flexible and continually learning workforce.

President Donald Trump completed a successful tour of the Middle East that resulted in foreign investments surmounting to over $3.2 trillion. President Trump believes that $10 trillion in capital will flow to US, a staggering amount of money, equal to over half of the DIJA’s entire market cap. The $10 trillion figure remains aspirational rather than set in stone. American manufacturing declined under the last administration, but we are looking at a sharp uptick over the next few years.

The White House separately publicly disclosed $5.1 trillion in US investments, $2.1 trillion of which were derived from corporate investments and the rest from foreign capital. This falls short of Trump’s $10 trillion figure but still marks an impressive injection of capital into the US economy.

Technology is at the forefront, with investments pouring into Artificial Intelligence (AI). DataVolt, Humain, and G42, and other Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds plan to assist in funding AI development in the USA. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) pledged $1.4 trillion into US  tech, AI, industry, and space. Saudi Arabia is also investing in American AI, along with energy, defense, and infrastructure, all to the tune of $600 billion. Qatar is sending $1.2 trillion to the US for developments in tech, infrastructure, and defense.

Japan has pledged to boost US investments by $1 trillion. However, $787.3 billion had been allotted for US investments back in 2023, and new capital from Japan should increase by $216.7 billion, which is still an impressive posting.

I just came across an Al-Jazeera article where they recreate a Palestinian village destroyed in the Nakba (according to them. It could totally be true but I feel like it wouldn't be impossible to find evidence to contrary one way or another) using, get this, images generated by Artificial Intelligence. The least they could've done is use all their Qatar funds to hire a fucking human artist. How about actually giving a Palestinian some work? I'm sure plenty need the money and would love to make nationalist nostalgia art. But no, they've gotta jump on a BS tech trend that's primarily being developed in Israel anyway. What a joke

Jesus Herb Christ this is one of the most pathetic things I have ever seen online. This is like the Wizardchan of land disputes.

Note that the AJ article fully admits that the people of Beyt Nabala: were the first to initiate violence with the Jews in December 1947; had also been part of the Arab Revolt in 1936 which was aimed at ending Jewish immigration and driving up the Holocaust death count as much as possible; and that they were ordered to vacate the village in May 1948 by Jordan's Arab Legion! Benny Morris likewise lists that village as one of those voluntarily abandoned without a Jewish attack. AJ also uses very interesting wording - about how other Arabs "brought reports of atrocities" by Zionist militias, including rape and disemboweling pregnant women at Deir Yassin. There were certainly "reports" of rape, and these were later admitted by Arab sources to have been lies meant to whip up popular disgust and revulsion (and inadvertently led to more people fleeing).

But yeah.... the soulless, emotionless, algorithmic, techbro-fad AI "art". Even for a picture of an old-fashioned well, which would probably have taken about 10 minutes for a living Palestinian artist to draw and get paid for, they had to chase those clicks and sell their souls to SEO. The comfort with fakeness and shallowness.... For an issue that people supposedly care about, and act like is important to them, it's just ugly, pointless trend-jumping. It is impossible to take it seriously. How much Jewish art is there, how many ways have we seen of re-envisioning our past?

Recruitment Specialists in the Middle East: Bridging Talent with Opportunity

The Middle East remains a center of high-speed economic growth, infrastructure expansion, and strategic change. From oil to schooling, building to medicine, the region offers rich opportunities—but also considerable challenges—when it comes to creating a skilled and sustainable workforce. With this ever-changing landscape, Middle East recruitment specialists are key to bridging the link between employers and talent, facilitating expansion, and advancing national visions within Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and beyond.

The Role of Recruitment Specialists Recruitment specialists act as the bridge between employers and job seekers, streamlining the hiring process and ensuring the right match for every role. In the Middle East, their role has expanded significantly over the past two decades, especially as governments seek to diversify economies and reduce reliance on oil.

These individuals do more than recruit CVs—they have industry sector expertise, offer market intelligence, and facilitate both employers and candidates through each phase of the recruitment process. They frequently handle candidate screening, interview scheduling, contract negotiation, induction, and, in some instances, post-placement assistance.

Why Middle Eastern Recruitment Specialists are Important

Workforce Demographics Diversity The Middle East has one of the most heterogeneous workforces globally. In most states—such as the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain—a majority of the workforce consists of expatriates. Recruitment consultants play a critical role in bridging the cultural, language, and regulatory issues involved in such heterogeneous recruitment environments. Through their experience, companies are able to employ workers who can become successful members of multinational teams.

Localization and Nationalization Programs Various nations in the region have enacted localization initiatives that seek to raise the employment of natives. Saudization in Saudi Arabia and Emiratization in the UAE are some of the examples. Recruitment experts ensure employers meet these national requirements without compromising the operational effectiveness and quality of employees. The specialists also interact with government officials to grasp legal regulations and quota demands.

Industry-Specific Hiring Needs Every sector has specific recruitment challenges. Construction and infrastructure developments, for example, demand large-scale deployment of skilled labor, frequently international. Technology firms, on the other hand, seek highly specialized talent in areas such as AI, cybersecurity, and data analytics. Recruitment Specialists Middle East provides tailored solutions for these diverse needs, ensuring that businesses can tap into the appropriate talent at the optimal moment.

Key Sectors Driving Demand for Recruitment Services Several sectors across the Middle East are actively driving demand for recruitment specialists:

Construction and Real Estate: With ongoing mega-projects such as NEOM and Expo City, the need for engineers, project managers, and skilled labor remains high.

Education: Most nations are revolutionizing their education system, which is generating a demand for trained teachers, school managers, and e-learning professionals.

Challenges Recruitment Specialists Face Despite the increased relevance of recruitment specialists, many issues exist:

Talent Shortages Though the need for top talent is increasing, local supply can be limited in many cases, particularly for technical and specialized positions. This creates intense competition among employers and greater demands from candidates.

Changing Regulatory Environments Visa regulations, labor legislation, and labor policies can differ significantly and shift quickly throughout the region. Recruitment professionals need to remain current and guarantee complete compliance, particularly when recruiting expatriates.

Turnover and Retention Problems It's not enough to find the right candidate. Keeping them on board is equally important. High turnovers in industries such as hospitality and retail still pose problems, so recruiters are paying closer attention to cultural fit and alignment over the long term.

Remote and Hybrid Work Arrangements Remote work has brought opportunities and challenges. On the positive side, it opens up talent sources, but on the other hand, it creates issues around coordination, online induction, and sustaining productivity across geographies.

Changing Strategies in Hiring To address contemporary needs, hiring experts in the Middle East are changing strategies:

Data-Driven Recruitment Analytics is also becoming an important recruitment tool. Through the use of data, experts can forecast hiring demand, monitor candidate interactions, and measure recruitment performance. This leads to smarter decisions and better hiring.

Utilization of AI and Automation Artificial intelligence is simplifying many phases of the hiring process—from screening resumes to scheduling interviews. Automation enables recruitment professionals to spend more time on strategic and relationship-building activities instead of administrative work.

Enhancement of Candidate Experience Recruitment experts are placing more emphasis on enhancing the candidate experience. Efficient communication, feedback cycles, and customized interactions are becoming priorities to secure top talent and establish employer brand trust.

Strategic Talent Mapping In addition to reactive hiring, recruitment is turning more proactive. Talent mapping enables businesses to identify and approach future talent well in advance, building pipelines for key positions and saving time-to-hire.

Opportunities for the Future The future provides much promise for the recruitment professional in the Middle East. As innovation and inclusivity continue to gather pace in the region, there are a number of opportunities arising:

Localization-Focused Talent Development: Recruitment experts are helping to narrow the gap between employment and education for national residents. Partnerships with education and training providers are on the rise.

Freelance and Gig Economy Expansion: Nations such as the UAE have launched freelance visas, unleashing the potential for flexible workforce solutions. Experts are now considering freelance and project-based assignments as potential options.

Sustainability and Green Employment: With increased emphasis on sustainable development, new professional roles are becoming visible in environmental science, clean energy, and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) sectors.

Cross-Border Cooperation: Increased cooperation among nations within the MENA region is making it easier for talent mobility. Recruitment professionals play a key role in facilitating these regional alliances and determining talent availability across borders.

Conclusion Middle East recruitment professionals are leading the region through a revolutionary era. Their experience, flexibility, and extensive knowledge of both international and regional dynamics are integral to the construction of a long-term workforce in the region. As industries evolve and economies diversify, these professionals will keep defining the labor market, providing strategic assistance to employers as well as job seekers. Whether it is navigating advanced regulatory systems or finding specialized talent, their role is not going away anytime soon, driving organizational excellence and sustainable growth in the Middle East.

56-Qubit Quantum H2 Sets Quantinuum’s Volume Record

Quantum H2

Quantinuum Breaks Quantum Volume Record, Reveals 56-Qubit H2 Upgrade, Improves Chemistry Simulations, and Grows Globally

Quantinuum, a premier quantum computing startup, developed a new Quantum Volume standard, updated its flagship quantum computer, and improved natural language processing and quantum chemistry simulations. The company signed a substantial strategic deal to boost Gulf quantum technology adoption.

Quantinuum's H2 quantum computer achieved the highest Quantum Volume (QV) to date, 2²³ = 8,388,608. IBM invented the QV metric, which measures quantum system processing performance by integrating qubit count, gate integrity, connection, and error rates. Quantinuum's five-year goal to tenfold QV per year ends with this achievement. Quantinuum claims that the QV metric is still valid and ungameable during the NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) period, allowing systems to be directly compared as they develop fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Quantinuum upgraded its flagship System Model quantum H2 from 32 to 56 trapped-ion qubits with the H2-1. Not a new system, just an upgrade. Due to the greater qubit count, commercial, “fully encompassing” simulators of the H2-1 quantum processor will no longer be accessible because a mathematically realistic simulation would require the complete memory of the world's top supercomputers.

Quantinuum CEO Rajeeb Hazra stressed that qubit quality, not number, is crucial for fault tolerance and commercialisation. Microsoft Azure Quantum officials were excited to construct more logical qubits with lower error rates using the 56-qubit computer after successful virtualisation on the 32-qubit system. Microsoft and Quantinuum partnered in 2019.

Quantinuum, a quantum software startup, disclosed the first scalable, error-corrected, end-to-end computational chemical method. This milestone shows that Quantinuum's quantum computing stack on the H2 quantum computer employing the InQuanto chemistry platform may enable quantum error-corrected chemistry simulations. The work uses logical qubits and quantum phase estimation (QPE) for molecular energy calculations to obtain quantum advantage in chemistry and fault-tolerant quantum simulations.

This technique uses the H2's scalable QCCD architecture, known for its real-time QEC decoding, conditional logic, mid-circuit measurements, high-fidelity operations, and all-to-all communication. Customers can access workflow through InQuanto. Quantinuum recommends combining quantum computing operations with supercomputing and AI to gain quantum edge in chemistry.

Quantinuum has released λambeq Gen II, the latest version of their quantum natural language processing (QNLP) program. Users may now directly translate linguistic structures and meaning into quantum circuits for hardware with λambeq Gen II, expanding on the team's 2016 QNLP breakthrough. The new version has more linguistic compositional structure than DisCoCat and is built on DisCoCirc math. The key benefits of DisCoCirc in λambeq Gen II include:

Allowing sentence structures to be built into text structures for long texts.

Concise, language-neutral compositional structure representation.

Providing theoretical evidence for quantum gadget performance improvements.

Addressing quantum machine learning model trainability via compositional generalisation.

For explainable AI (XAI), compositional interpretability is needed. More than 50,000 downloads indicate a strong user base for the λambeq application.

Quantinuum formed a joint venture with Al Rabban Capital to accelerate quantum technology commercialisation in Qatar and the Gulf. This collaboration allows Qatar to invest up to $1 billion in Quantinuum's quantum technology over the next decade, co-create local applications, and expand its workforce.

This alliance aims to expand Quantinuum's commercial reach through long-term economic partnerships. American and Qatari authorities and business leaders discussed the alliance at a Doha roundtable. U.S.-Qatari ties and corporate interests including AI innovation and quantum computing's potential to power AI data centres were discussed.

Quantinuum's next-generation system, Helios, is expected to beat H2 in size and fidelity, supporting the company's goal of expanding and enhancing performance. The firm emphasises its leadership and commitment to client success.

An academic lab in the United Arab Emirates today launched an artificial intelligence world model and agent, two large language models (LLMs), and a new research center in Silicon Valley as the country ramps up its investment in the field.

The UAE’s Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) revealed an AI world model called PAN, which can be used to build physically realistic simulations for testing and honing the performance of AI agents.

Eric Xing, president and professor of MBZUAI and a leading AI researcher, revealed the models and lab at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, today. The UAE has made big investments in AI in recent years under the guidance of Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed al Nahyan, the nation’s tech-savvy national security adviser and younger brother of president Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Xing says the UAE’s new center in Sunnyvale, California, will help the nation tap into the world’s most concentrated source of AI knowledge and talent. “We're creating pathways for knowledge exchange with leading institutions and accessing a talent pool that understands how to scale research into real-world applications,” Xing said in an announcement.

MBZUAI today also revealed ​​PAN-Agent, an experimental AI agent trained to perform reasoning tasks within the PAN world model. MBZAUI says AI researchers will be able to use PAN to test agents in simulated real-world scenarios, including self-driving cars on virtual roads.

A demonstration at today’s event showed PAN being used to simulate self-driving cars navigating busy roads, drones flying through unfamiliar spaces, and robots operating within domestic environments.

Many AI researchers believe that “world models” like PAN will be crucial to building more advanced AI systems, including virtual assistants and robots capable of working in unfamiliar environments. Earlier this week, Google’s AI lead, Demis Hassabis, stressed the importance of world modeling to his company’s AI plans.

Besides the new world model, MBZUAI announced two new large language models (LLMs) at today’s event. K2, a 65-billion parameter model optimized for reasoning tasks, was trained on 80 A100 chips using Nvidia’s DGX Cloud, developed using 35 percent less compute than Meta’s Llama 2 at the same size, Xing says. MBZUAI also revealed Jais, which it says is the world’s most advanced Arabic-language LLM.

President Donald Trump traveled to the Middle East this month to broker deals involving US companies and Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar.

Deals involving US tech giants, including Nvidia, AMD, AWS, and Qualcomm, could help propel a boom for the region’s fledgling AI industry by providing crucial AI chips and data center capacity. The deals are also strategically important for the US government because they promise to expand US technological influence ahead of key rival China.

Trump said in Abu Dhabi this month that several unnamed US companies would work with the UAE to build the largest AI data center cluster outside of America. The deal will involve an arrangement designed to prevent the chip or compute power being used by China.
